Connecting Mac Book to the Home Theatre

Does anyone have any idea as to how to connect the Macbook to the Home Theatre. I have movies on my Mac and want to watch them on my home theatre. The home theatre components are projector and a 5.1 Harman Kardon system.

If your HK has optical input, this type of cable would be best:

I now have a macbook pro and my iPod was originally sync to a pc that isn't in use any more, how do i set my mac book as the "home computer" for my iPod 4?

i dont want to lose all my apps and songs
i just want to make my mac book as the home computer so i can update my ipod

The only other thing I can think of is to pull the drive out and hook it to another machine with a USB enclosure. Something like this:

Then you could read it like an external USB drive. It's easy to open up and get the drive out.

The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password

WHEN I CONNECT, THROUGH USB CABLE, MY IPHONE TO THE MAC BOOK PRO, THE ITUNES APP STOP RUNNING AND I CAN NOT SYNCRONIZE THE IPHONE

Hello skkmmayer,
That is probably a lot of stuff you do not want on your iPhone. So this can be handled a few different was. For you current situation, you can delete the apps directly on your iPhone by holding on the app until it starts to jiggle and then tap on the X of all the apps that you do not want. The second thing you can do is before you sync with iTunes, look at the app section on your iPhone to know what gets transfer to it and you can deselect items that you do not want. Lastly, if you download content on your iPad and it is a universal app, you can actually download it directly to your iPhone by looking at your past purchases and download it directly from the App Store. Check out the articles below for more information if need further assistance.

How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3

How can i connect mac book pro to appel tv3

To do what? It's not clear from the question.
If you want to play iTunes library content on the unit you need to enable Home Sharing on both, have them on the same network and then look for your iTunes library under the Computer icon - iTunes must be running of course.
Communications can be blocked by firewalls or security software sometimes.
To factory restore a black AppleTv2 or 3 you connect it to the computer running itunes with a USB to microUSB lead alone and start itunes.

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do

Hi, I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro 13" and I accidentally cracked the outer screen of my mac book, however the LCD panel is fine and works well. Please advise what to do. I live in India and I have gone to authorised Apple technicians and they infomed me that I will have to replace the LCD panel as well even though it is not cracked, is this really true or can I just change the outer shell? Also they say that they cannot do it in India... can I do it myself at home?

Since it is 3 years old find a local repair shop that can replace the glass Only. you may have to send it out to a Non Local shop for that but there are some that specialize in doiing that on Mac notebooks.
Apple will ony replace the complete screen enclosure with all normal parts included, LCD, Camera, Aluminum housing and glass as one unit. Which is very expensive. Or you could just use it as a desktop system with external monitor and buy a new notebook.

Is there a problem with the Home Theatre Cab

On the Creative store website, whenever I look at the wiring diagram for the Home Theatre Cable, it shows that there are 3 seperate cables, yet the one that I received is just one cable with a bunch of different ends.
My problem is that when connecting my X-Fi up to my Sony 5200ES receiver, I can only get 5. sound in both game mode and entertainment mode. The weird thing is that the side speakers never work when testing the speakers out (they work fine with everything else, just not from the computer). I switched the inputs so that the rear speakers were connected to the side speakers and visa versa and what happened was that the sound from the rear speakers came out of the side speakers and nothing came from the rear speakers because the side speakers are not sending out a signal.
I am stuck on what to do next. I know the cables are connected right, otherwise when I do the speaker test the other 5. speakers would not be in their proper locations, right?
I have reinstalled the drivers countless times (from the CD) and I discovered that no matter what I did, the front right speaker (along with the 2 sides) would not work in entertainment mode. I fixed that by finding newer drivers released sometime last year and those brought me up to 5. with both modes, but now I want the side speakers to work. I called Sony, just in case, and they didn't give me any help.
Any ideas?

If there is a definite pause where the left/right side channel announcement would be heard, it suggests you have the soundcard set up right, and there is some sort of problem with those channels. That could be caused by the soundcard, the cable, the receiver, or just some poor connections. The first order of business is to figure out which, and here's what I'd suggest.
Make sure the soundcard connectors are fully inserted; if the stop on the plug isn't in contact with the jack, it is possible for the internal contacts not to be making proper contact. (Don't use excessi've force, though.)<
On the receiver end, swap the left rear and side, and right rear and side connectors; then run the speaker identification test. If you hear the side-channels announced (from the rears) the problem would be the receiver's multichannel inputs' side inputs (there might be a setting affecting their use).<
If you know how, check the cable connectivity of the side channels. This would be the "sleeve" (furthest from the pointed "tip" contact) of the black minijack and the center contact of the side-right RCA, and similarly for the orange minijack and the center contact of the side-left RCA. For the same connector pairs, the "ring" next to the "sleeve" in each minijack should have connectivity with the corresponding outside RCA contact.<
If you have a camcorder which uses a minijack A/V cable, you can try that cable instead of connecting the black or orange minijack. For black: yellow RCA (video) goes to side right, white (or black) RCA goes to left rear, and red RCA goes to right rear. For orange, yellow RCA (video) goes to side left, white (or black) RCA goes to center, and red RCA goes to subwoofer. If those substitutions give you the corresponding side channel, it suggests the problem is in the CL cable. If they don't give the side channel, the soundcard is suspect.<
For a simple hardware problem, it seems unlikely for 2 symmetrical channels to be defecti've which reside in different connectors. Your black and orange minijacks do have 3 insulator rings on them, right?

Can someone tell me step by step how to record from audio tape to mac book with the help of xitel import deluxe

Can someone tell me step by step how to record from audio tape to mac book with the help of xitel inport deluxe system.

I lost my mac book, can the cloud find it if someone is deleting the partition.

i lost my mac book, can the cloud find it if someone is deleting the partition.?????

If you were logged in to icloud on the computer and it is on / connected to wifi / not erased, you will be able to go to iCloud.com (universal) and find a location. If the mac book had a deleted partition which held your icloud info you will not.

I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

Good question bigboggerchoot. I also would like to know the answer to this.

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes

I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

HT4623 how do i update my mac book with the latest version of itunes?

Hi all, can anyone help me with updating my Mac Book with the latest itunes. I'm a bit old school and usually stick to same programs but now need to update?? Cheers!!

Make a backup of your computer first before doing any updates. In rare but unfortunate cases an update seems to result (from what the people posting here say) in libraries being deleted. Then too, sometimes people update and discover they really don't like the new version. Downgrading without a backup is difficult. In the long run you can't avoid going to a newer version but I, for example, have been running the same iTunes version for 7 years now so it is possible to hang on.
You also don't provide details about your MacBook which includes many models. If you are truly old school you could even be running a MacBook that can't update to the newest, or at least may require other software or hardware upgrades. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
